mary todd was shocked. sally field had not read her husband's address to congress. now as most of you know, lincoln faced a crisis from the right side of his party led by the blair family's francis preston blair senior or hal holbrook if you like, as well as his son montgomery who had served as lincoln's postmaster general until he was dumped in 1864. the blairs influence over conservative republicans was critical to lincoln and the house, because lincoln could not afford to lose a single republican as he tried to change the votes of democrats. hence, when the 73-year-old senior blair told lincoln that if he wanted to get passage of the amendment lincoln would have to allow blair to go to richmond and see if there was a possibility of ending the war through negotiation. lincoln, who of course had been rejecting calls for negotiated peace for years, knew that such negotiations would never go anywhere, because first, richmond would not just reject the emancipation proclamation but surely a new constitutional amendment and second and more important, lincoln was convinc

white house which included mary todd lincoln. the president was in a melancholy meditative mood and had been silent for some time. finally mary aroused her husband to speak what was on his mind. it seems strange how much there is in the bible about dreams, lincoln said. there are i think 16 chapters in the old testament and four or five in the new in which dreams are mentioned and many other passages scattered which refer to visions. if we believe the bible we must accept the fact that in the old days god and his angels came to men in their sleep and made themselves known in dreams. now, mary lincoln was struck by her husband's dreadful solemnity and asked do you believe in dreams. i can't say i do lincoln replied but i had one the other night which has haunted me since. lincoln said he opened up his bible and it fell to the pages in genesis where jacob dreams of a ladder ascending into heaven and there are angels going up and down. lincoln said he turned to several passages each of which dealt with dreams or visions. as lincoln
